YouTube videos and Pinterest Pins

What YouTube and Pinterest need besides the text: a title, a board, a thumbnail and more.

More in Posting

On the YouTube tab

  • Title: needed, up to 100 characters. The post's text is the description.
  • Visibility: Public, Unlisted or Private, and whether it's Made for kids.
  • Tags: separated by commas, up to 500 characters.
  • Playlist and Thumbnail (a JPG or PNG, sent at 1280 × 720): both optional.

YouTube takes one video, and doesn't allow < or > in the title, description or tags.

After it goes out

YouTube processes the video first, and the post says YouTube is still processing it. Amplikite keeps checking for up to 24 hours. If YouTube turns the video down, the post fails, with YouTube's reason.

Open the post and choose Comments to read what people say. Owners and Admins can reply as the channel.

On the Pinterest tab

  • Board: needed. Owners and Admins can make one with New board.
  • Title (up to 100 characters) and Link, where the Pin takes people: both optional.

The post's text is the Pin's description, up to 800 characters, and a Pin needs a photo or video.
